I am actually very clear about what and how teaching should be, and dislike it when teachers seem to need to form an us and them within their classes or even the school. Thanks for this-lovely to hear!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204430968023166999.post-53116010379087301682013-03-30T22:01:08.070-04:002013-03-30T22:01:08.070-04:00Love the list and pic.

I told my husband today that having once again to teach the research paper this trimester makes me feel hostile, so I have to be extra careful not to blame the kids who had nothing to do w/ the trimester system and who dislike it as much as I do. Just keeping each individual in mind rather than taking a group approach helps.

In return, they usually treat me the same way and do more work as well.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210045352610490115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204430968023166999.post-85318026382238372632013-03-30T20:05:56.135-04:002013-03-30T20:05:56.135-04:00LOVE that quote, Lee Ann!

(In fact, I've even gotten in trouble with some old-school teachers for being too nice -- writing late passes for students who have stayed after class to talk to me about some tough stuff in their lives.) Every once in a while, I wonder if I am being "too nice"... but I figure if I'm going to be "too" something, I'd rather "CHOOSE KIND"! I still have so much to work on, but that's what I want to work toward. Thank you for this wonderful message!JenniferMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603450967368808356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204430968023166999.post-78978903020027963132013-03-30T20:04:42.470-04:002013-03-30T20:04:42.470-04:00I love this idea of teaching with the sun's at...I love this idea of teaching with the sun's attitude.

It's a handful of problems, usually multiple choice, that students must submit online. I hand it out on Monday and it's due Friday morning. Still, some don't do it and others offer excuses. I've given students a one time pass, but more than testing them on math problems I am trying to teach some responsibility and accountability. In the past, I think I've been too lenient with students and since I think that given them a reasonable amount of time to complete the assignment allows me to be more stringent with the due date.
